For me, every article and tutorial seemed to contradict themselves, the steps were too confusing, and I was always left with a zillion questions (what’s the simplest way for beginners? How long does CGM take to work? How often do I do it?!).

Or use on a wash day as a primer before stronger hold styling products. I like to use it to moisturise my hair and then apply a small bit of styling cream on top.Īll in all, I'm a massive Curlsmith fan - not only because of the product ingredients and the fruity smells (which are always complimented btw) but mostly because of the results that my the products create for my curls. Use between wash days on its own to restore moisture and reactivate your style. The moisture memory reactivator is pretty to similar to how you would use your water spray when refreshing your curls between wash days. The balm helps to define curls, creating flexible bouncy hairstyles without weight or crunch. I’ve found the best results using this day-to-day after using the Moisture Memory Reactivator spray and then smoothing into damp hair, I use the praying hands method and then just leave to air dry.

They also recommend to use it after washing on wet hair (which I haven’t yet tried). This recently launched product by Curlsmith works really well as a refreshing styling lotion.

A little goes a long way here too so expect to get your money’s worth, the tub will be full for a while! Hold Me Softly Style Balm I usually will use this on my curls a couple days after wash day when my hair needs that extra moisture, hydration and shine, it also helps to define my curls a bit more and tames frizz.

For me, this product works amazingly on dry hair or as a sealant. The description on the tub and online says you should use this on damp hair after shampooing and I’ve seen a couple tutorials of curly girls using it as an oil deep treatment before washing, which I have not tried. The serum is a creamy oil based product with a silky texture that melts in your hands and smells amazing. This also works amazingly for curly hair in humid conditions or whilst on holiday, check out my run down of top products whilst travelling to hot and humid countries here. I’ve tested out just using this and then once dry sealing with the serum but perhaps will try it as a primer and see how that works out. It’s not greasy and doesn’t leave your hair crunchy so it practically feels like you haven’t used anything but smells AMAZING. Best used on wet/damp hair apparently can also be used as a curl primer which other products lay on top of. The oil in cream is one of my favourite after wash leave-ins.

The product works really well on wet or dry hair and can add definition and a little bounce to your curls along with it being really moisturising for less frizz. The soufflé is sort of a gel-like product which is more flexible without that horrible crunch.

You can check out my favourite travel curl products here. I struggle to find the products I love which are compact enough to travel with and this is perfect as it's two products in one. It is a co-wash that is actually a shampoo and conditioner in one, the bottle size also means that it lasts quite long. This product leaves your curls so moisturised and shiny with a nice defined bounce. The co-wash does exactly what is says on the label, a gentle product that really removes build up and dirt and is also perfect for detangling. My favourite of the entire line, this product is just amazing and works so well for my curls. Here’s a little run down of the products along with my thoughts after months of use of each of them… Curl quenching conditioning wash
